Sohail Karmani is a part-time photographer from London and a full-time arts and humanities professor at New York University in Abu Dhabi. As a photographer, he has a keen interest in ‘people photography’ and relishes nothing more than the thrill and uncertainty of approaching and shooting complete strangers.

He is currently putting together a portfolio of portraits from his ancestral hometown of 'Sahiwal', a city in Eastern Central Punjab in Pakistan. He has only visited Pakistan a handful of times, and after each visit finds himself being lured back by the beauty, warmth and humanity of ordinary Pakistanis.
